Mike Freeman's NFL Grades: Pre-Week 3 Edition

Seattle's Richard Sherman has a big yapper. Sometimes I like that, and sometimes I don't. When Sherman acts like he invented football and chastises people who picked against his Seahawks, instead of winning with class, that is when I'd like for him to shut up.

Yet there is no denying the talent of both player and team. This is a ferocious squad, and they are one of the stars of this week's grade-a-licious rundown, along with the Denver Broncos.

While the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers and a few others also earned high marks, and the Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Redskins reached subterranean levels of putridity, it was the play of Seattle and Denver that awed.

ESPN stats geeks: Aaron Rodgers became the first player since Y.A. Tittle in 1962 to get 480 yards passing and at least four TDs with no interceptions. Any doubt who the best passer in football is now?
